While I somewhat agree, every generation has said this about the younger generation for as long as I can remember.

This is true... but "walking to school 8 miles each way" and "everyone is now a winner" are slightly different.

I think each generation in this country has had it "easier" than the past... I think we are just now at a boiling point where it's like "realllllllly?". That's all I can think when I see most articles these days (Janitors suing because they demand Spanish signs, this, etc).
